Default fuel smell

when i get on my car hard i can smell a very rich gas smell. my friend was following me and said he could only smell the gas when my exhaust was near his window. my car is tuned but i think i had a bad o2 sensor. i put a new one in when i started driving the car regularly so i cant remember if it used to do this. is it possible to run this rich? there is no leaking btw, im sure i have checked everything.

Well, you got it tuned for WOT...so just cruising around or at idle it is probably rich? That's how my Mustang was...

Are you running cats. ? I'm not (tuned for it though) and mine smells pretty rich, runs great though!
