Electrical issues..... help

So heres the issues guys i sent my car off too Texas to have a new bigger cam and stall installed. Well i trusted the wrong guy and shop who talked a good game but couldnt deliver. Car ran perfect when the shipping company picked it up and when they dropped it off. Car has a built 427 and fbos. I wanted a bigger cam an stall and we landed on a nice circle D 3600 and a cam motion 238/252 dur, 640/630 lift on a 112.5. Well he got the car 2 weeks before i was going to drive down and trailer it back. Well, i got ready and come fri when i was leaving to arrive on sat afternoon he states i better start on your car. Seriously you havent even started an ill be there tomorrow to pick it up as agreed. So he obviously rushed the job big time, didnt do a before dyno, he had it on the dyno for like 30 mins, it was smoking and he claimed it was my oil catch can just pulling in tons of oil cus of the reversion and i needed a new catch can situation, 😳🤔. So on the way home i figured out that he never measured anything and blew the hpfp seal dumping fuel into the crank case. Anyway, got it home and popped it open and used the special tool an sure enough haf good preload on base circle, but had .026 thousands at full lift on the fuel lobe. The gasket only takes up .012 of that, so sanded the seal down and got it so i had .005 extra clearance with the gasket. Started the car idled great no more smoke, and took it just for a small drive. Man what a completely messed up tune trans was all over the place! Put my hptuners on it and pulled codes and i had 3 new permenent codes, as shown in the attachement. I go into reduced power mode when i try to drive it as well pretty sure has to do with one of the codes. Idles and such fine but also have to make sure the trans fluid is full as well. He also had added a new Katech oil pump, lme chain guide, which i verified through mike at LME. Checked the fuses all seem fine, wires goin into the oil pressure switch and frt cover look ok and connected right. Have to get under it to see if he forgot a ground on the drivers side still. Cus at idle i have 60psi an just touchin the gas i have 80+. Before it was 35 idle, 42 cruise and wot it would go 80. I have a feeling its somethjng electrical not connected or bad wire or maybe he forgot to plug the oil pump back in under the front cover. Im a decent mechanic but now that i am in the medical field didnt feel like doing the job. Checked some of the guys past customers they said he did a good job but the only ones i could find were 2 yrs old he said he has just been buildin engines lately. Guys a fluke and a hack my oil was 2.5 qts low my coolant low, and he didnt show me a dyno sheet or anything. Didnt street tune it like it was suppose to be. I got the major issue fixed just want to know if anyone has ever had this happen and where to look. Help will be paid to anyone that can help me out. Just wish there were good shops in Utah to help when something like this happens.

After you fixed the Fuel pump gasket, did you check the oil? It probably has a lot of fuel in it. Need to do a flush and filter change. Also you need a new tuner obviously.

Mind naming the shop? I had a similar situation sending my car to Texas, shotty work that is still being ironed out to this day. He changed his shop from Herold Motorsports to race ready tuning I believe.
