Default 2016 RGU won't start.

I have a 2016 Road Glide Ultra. Stage 2 air intake, custom exhaust, dynojet powervision with autotune wideband O2 kit. No issues until I put in S&S 585 easy start cams. Ran it multiple time running through autotune for at least a half hour each time if not more. First ride didn't realize back tire was caked in mud. Bike fishtailed and went down soft on right side. (Possible cause?)
Picked it up started right up drove it for about 10 minutes. Exiting highway. Bike started to high idle but bogged down when I gave it throttle. Continually got worse then just shut off now its throwing DTC p1510, P1511, p1512. Dealer had it for 3.5 weeks said they went through ECM swap, injector grounds, spark plugs replaced, fuel pressure holds at 65, timing is good, bike is getting fuel,(dealer said a lot)
getting spark. I can hear the compression when cranking. Bike will not start. Doesn't even try to turn over. No put, no pop, not even a hiccup. Just unburned gas.
how can it be possible to get fuel/air, spark, and compression and do absolutely nothing?

oh and I picked up my bike from dealer because they are useless.
thanks in advance

I take it the dealer did the troubleshooting for the no start but who made the mods? Particularly who installed the cams?

I have nothing against any cams but that might be a clue right there. Something went wrong on that job.

The part I do not get is you say you ran through AT several times, then had a first ride and you dropped the bike. So, would it be safe to say you have put some miles on the bike with the new cams? If yes, what does the cams have to do with the current issue? You had no problems before you dropped the bike correct? 3.5 weeks at the dealer, was that warranty or where you charged? The codes you have listed all have to do with throttle issues. I leaning towards the real issue at hand, you are a Troll.
