Just had this exact same thing happen to me about a month ago, these companies must not be putting submersible fuel hose in with the kit, they must just be throwing regular EFI hose in.

Re: 89 gta ls1 t56 swap!

Low voltage on bank 1 and 2 oxygen sensors and random multiple misfire

Code 300 is never a fun one to trace

One good bit of info is the low side of both O2 sensors are throwing codes so the issue is linked to both banks. That rules out an individual bad injector or bad coil
