first thing to do is put a fuel pressure gauge on the shrader valve and check fuel pressure, dont just throw parts at it, youll get frustrated and the cost will add up very quickly, also go over all plugs again make sure you have them in the right spots, make sure all connectors are hooked up

Does it also stumble when you have it parked, hood open and you blip the throttle?

I agree, get fuel pressure gauge on it for a look.

Knock sensors acting wonky can cause these symptoms. How's the pigtail look? Should have 5v key on engine off. Shake the wire around while testing to make sure it doesn't fluctuate. Test the sensor itself for resistance. Should be 3300-4500 ohms. If that's all good, the knock module is a possibility.
