From what I understand the relay is good too, to make sure, I just bypassed it with jumper wire. Still no start. My last thought is the wiring to the starter. Any updates/resolution on your issue?

I've had starter contacts come out of alignment when they were overtightened... so even with new contacts, there could be a problem there.
Can you get a multimeter on the starter connections (signal and/or main wire) while cranking? That will tell you if you have high resistance in the starter wires. That harness is separate from the main engine harness, so at least it is separately repairable if there is an issue there.
