Default Very Bad fuel smell while WOT??????

Ok.. I have 60lb injectors, Motoblue larger fuel rails and ever since that I put those on I get a really bad smell of fuel after I push the gas.. I cant see anything leaking under the hood or anything... If the car warms up it does it more and only when I push the gas.. If im just cruising it doesnt smell but as soon as i press the gas in any gear it starts to smell for a second...

Does anybody with 600+rwhp have the same problem..

Also I noticed the car was runnin rich.. So I brought to my tuner and he retuned it not as rich.. But still smells..WTF

You sure you're not leaking gas? Check under fuel filter cover for a leak there. Its possible a fuel filter can clog and leak out of the connector if the enough gas is getting pushed through too quickly for the clog to let through. The fuel filter area is a prime candidate for a driver being able to smell a gas leak.

The smell is way to strong to be a exhaust leak.... It is a raw fuel smell.. Not burnt fuel..... Where is the fuel filter on these pigs???

plastic cover under car, under driver. Unscrew the screws, take it off, fuel filter is right there in plain view. Any leak there will instantly be smelled by the driver. Or did you already check?
