Default Smell gas(did a search)

Anytime I boost the car, when the RPMs come down, the car gets a gas odor in it. The car smells like gas out of the exhaust when under boost. I took it to a shop and we found that the MSD igntion I had was retarding the timing of the car to 0 even though we didn't have it retarded. The shop thought that maybe since it was affecting the timing, more gas was getting in than could get burned. I no longer have the ignition hooked up and I still get the smell. No leaks that I can tell. A buddy was following me and said it is very potent. Could I be just running really rich. All I have on the car is the DRAG III kit, APEX N1, AEM fuel rail, FP-Boost-EGT gauges, S-AFC. Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Do you have a afc or safc. If you do you are prob. running your car to rich at certain rpm's.

It is an S-AFC. I have it leaned out a little bit and didn't really notice a difference but didn't want to do too much since I wasn't doing it on a dyno. Since it is in the car and out the exhaust it would be unburnt fuel? It wouldn't be the line from the tank to the engine bay, or could it?
