Engine missing/bucking at WOT

I have been having a problem for a while now where my truck will miss/buck at WOT. This only happens at higher RPM's. From a standing start 0-60 it is fine. However when I downshift full throttle from about 50 MPH it initially goes, but then it will miss/buck consistently until I back off the throttle.

I have so far replaced the CPS, re torqued injectors, checked valve cover harnesses and fuel pressure stays in between 64-58 full throttle. No codes show up.

My truck runs great except as I described above. I would think an injector or two are bad, but the truck runs and idles great. My initial guess was that it was a fuel pressure issue, but fuel pressure holds strong. Could it be air in the fuel?

I can guess. With bigger injectors and tunes might be running out of high pressure oil. Do you have the stock HPOP? Can you monitor ICP and IPR%, that would tell the story? Any CEL light when this is happening?

I have monitored icp/duty cycle and ipr on AE and it is holding good (3300). I don't know the characteristics of a bad injector, but I don't know what else it could be.
