Could copper plugs fix my problem

I am running autolight double platinum plugs in my 1995 5.8. I have what almost feels like a miss. When at a light in drive the motor has a slight stumble. It also happens when you accelerate lightly. I have already put in 9mm wires, cap and rotor, high output coil, k&n fipk, 3" exhaust with flowmaster and high flow cat. Could putting in copper plugs fix it or should I be looking for a cracked plug or wire or even a fuel issue?
