Default ECU problems

Right im having big problems with my LS1 in my GD cobra it car. it has a slight misfire on part throttle at low revs, i have changes plugs leads coils compressions at 190-200 psi only code i get somtimes is p0300, im running out of ideas on as to what this could be. could i have a bad pcm? fuel pressure is at 58psi and have 0280155890 injectors ( is this correct for a 2000 ls1?)

I have similar problem. I get PO300 under heavy acceleration. It starts to miss BAD. I have replaced plugs 3X, wires 2X, O2 sensors...etc. It has been going on for months! I may try another set of O2s, but first coil check. I'm glad my other car is reliable.

Have you checked your Fuel Pressure? I ran into a problem with the factory regulator that caused the pressure to drop over a certain rpm. Fixed with a aftermarket FPR.
