If you are smelling raw fuel then it's either leaking somewhere or you are running crazy rich thus possibly dumping fuel into your cylinders. (not good!) Definitely check all of your fuel lines, injector seals and o-rings. Check your plugs for signs of overly rich and also check the oil and see if it has a fuel smell to it. Jump the test harness and check to see if the ECU has any codes stored.
