Default 01 z06 p0300 misfire code

Tldr: regasketed all the intake stuff, replaced and gapped spark plugs to .040, replaced maf sensor, replaced map sensor, cleaned intake manifold filters, still misfiring, what should I check or change now.

Long story, car was basically camping itself due to a terrible vacuum leak so changed the intake manifold gaskets, still misfiring so I changed the maf, still persistent so I changed the map sensor, nothing there so I changed and gapped the spark plugs and am still getting the p0300 random or multiple misfire code, car runs great after 2500 rpm but before that its terrible, what should I do now?

What exactly is "camping" ? How do you know you had a vacuum leak, and how did you find the source?

Why are you changing a MAF and MAP sensor for a misfire ??...if you don't have a factory level or equivalent aftermarket scan and some advanced diagnostic equipment you will have little success...find a diagnostic shop in your area and take the car there....don't waste any more money !!

I apologize if meant to type camming, i knew it was a vacuum leak because i smoke tested the system showing a massive intake manifold leak, then i fixed it and it eliminated the vacuum leak but I'm still misfiring

I only changed the maf for the misfire the map sensor was because of the vacuum leak, the seal around it was bad, but thats probably what I'm going to do I'll just bring it to someone
