2000 Saturn SC1 Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a chugging problem in my sc1. In town it doesn't seem to chug much but when I get up to 40-55 mph it gets worse. It only does it while I'm accelerating and mostly after it is warm. I've replaced the coil packs and the feul filter. I've put seafoam in my gas tank and it seemed to fix the problem for about a day.
