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.
