That ground is in place by the wastegate, and the other grounds from the body to engine. What are the chances the tune "dumped" when it was parked with no battery for a few months?

Yeah, might as well try though. By the way, I don't think a missing ground would explain your issue, but it's one of the major things you messed with when taking off the head. What else did you unplug? Check it all. My next guess which makes more sense is an issue in the COPs harness.
edit: just take continuity, then resistance. See if the COP end is continuous to the "igniter" end, and if that's all good check resistance, to see if there's some major damage on one of the connections.

Ok, aparently pulling the fuel injection relay makes the MS wack out. So when I plug that back in the tach behaves normally, but it still won't start. The plugs are firing reasonably, the keylogger looks good on the CAS signal, and I know I'm getting fuel (backfires, lol). I tried pulling cranking PW from 3.0 to 2.0 after it read 10:1 when cranking, but still no success. It looks like all grounds have continuity so I'm more than a little confused.

I fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting pretty good at learning from my own stupidity.
I marked the CAS when I took the car off so I would not have to use the timing light again (shifted balancer). Well, I put two marks on it at 11:00 and 1:00...I did not line these up properly so it was about 30* retarded. Now it runs and damn its strong. The only problem is the rad fan is not working, again. It's never worked properly on this car.
