Default Car disappointed on the dyno and now throwing P0300?

Well after a disappointing day at the dyno, my car is now throwing P0300, what could cause this? I changed the plugs when I did the heads, but not the wires. My tuner told me to change plug wires as they were old and O2 sensors as he said they were "tired". Not sure what that means... Do I have a problem or is it the cam?

Post a tune or data log or dyno graph or something. My crystal ball is on the fritz.

I just quickly changed the wires, found two of them slid right off, now the car runs much smoother.... Pretty sure I found the issue

Dyno graph is below,

Have you scanned it to see if there is any miss history?

there was a vacuum leak. I can't believe the tuner didn't catch it, I paid 800 for the tune and totally feel ripped off. Ive corrected the issues but I bet my money went to waste. I'll be buying an hp tuners and learning to do it on my own now...
