I just installed bb codes in my truck and I was wondering if the timing has to be reset with them, I tried searching and can't find the results I'm looking for

I'm fairly sure that timing meters using the pulse method measure the pressure spike in the injection line which the injection pump delivers to fire the injector. Therefore I don't see how the timing meter would be able to tell a lick of difference between timing with new vs old injectors, even if they pop at different pressures, because the surge of pressure happens at the same time regardless of what kind of injector is attached to the end of it. The timing meter doesn't know when the injector opens, only when the surge of pressure happens in relation to crankshaft location. Unless it somehow senses when the pressure surges then drops off, which would actually measure when the fuel is injected, which would change with new or old injectors.
I would love for someone to measure timing with old, worn out injectors and then with new, and see if timing changes. I doubt it would be much if any measurable difference. I know that there has been speculation that changing feed pressure to the IP changes timing, however our member RLDSL did a test where he changed the pressure from low to high end of the range and checked timing, and it didn't budge.
