Who put the chain on?
There are two sets of dots that get lined up . Cam to balancer (not important for this psot) and cam to crank. If you did it..did you take pics of the dots?

The first thing I would suspect is the timing chain install, which is what Bill is getting at. Before you pay the shop to do anything else, I would make them revisit that.

A backfire after a chain is typically the dots not lining up.
A misfire would be a misrouted plug wire. However since they didn't do wires..they shouldn't be off.
