Unhappy engine pump timing

Hi everybody I'm a new member and this is my first posting.
I just installed 370's about 3 weeks ago and I went to a shop wanting to get my timing bumped up to 15 degrees, and the guy said that in order to do this that my pump would have to come off. i know that this is not true. according to what I have read at Dodge ram.org. he was obviously trying to rip me off!! My truck is a 94 SLT 2500 4 wheel drive.banks twin ram w power pack plate slide all the way,ATS triple disk T.C and ats trans.
since I installed my 370's there is a studdering at about 1300 rpms
where the trucks starts to shake very badly. but once I get on the throttle it goes away. I know its not the T.C because it never did this prior to installing the new injectors.I get lots of smoke under hard acceleration , but this is to be expected with the AFC slid all the way forward.anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this. I that is a result of the timing being too far retarded for what the injectors are delivering. my truck has the 160 hp pump.
could it be delivery valves?? I DON'T WANT TO INVEST BIG $$$ in the tools to do the timing adjustment myself for a one time job, so if anyone knows
anyone in the Minneapolis Mn area that could advance my timing without trying to rip me in the process would be greatly appreciated.
we have a cummins dealer here could they do it???
or would they not touch my engine due to that it is modified and not stock??
I got rid of my cat and it is straight piped.
is there a club in my area for people with dodge ctd;s
