Cheapest way that I know of is a MAFT... Check the for sale section.. there's usually a couple in there..

How rich are you running. Usually you can run the as normal. Are you fouling the plugs very fast, or do you just smell alot of gas?

SES LIGHTS?

That's to be expected? Are you running LT's and ORY?

If so, you have nothing to really worry about until you can get a tune. If you aren't running cats, then you're just smelling what the cats would normally burn off before it exits the exhaust.

would it be a problem if you do run cats?

I don't believe the smell would as strong if you run cats. They the job of burning unused fuel. So you probably wouldn't notice it as much.
