It sounds like your spark is good. It would've been good if you could've done a compression test when all the plugs were out just to make sure your valve timing isn't way off for some reason causing low compression.

Otherwise, I think you should verify the injectors are being pulsed. I don't want to advise you to do anything that would damage electronics, but an unpowered 12V test light connected to ground should work to probe for injector pulse at the connector.

You said you have good fuel pressure. Any evidence of too much fuel flooding it? Will it run now on starting fluid sprayed into the throttle body while cranking? If you have spark and injector pulse, seems it would be the cams somehow got out of time and it might need to go into a shop.
