Before with just the duals, I could hardly smell gas at idle. Now after my cam swap...the smell of gas pours out horribly...is this normal? Seems like alot of blue-ish smoke,and really smells like unburnt gas. It was tuned spot on for the most part.

What exactly does that mean?

Assuming it is tuned right, a cam with 16* overlap will smell very rich at idle.

I had meant it was tuned through a professional facility dyno jet, with a known respectable tuner. So the obvious smell of gas.had me worried if its tuned to rich....or is this typically normal.

Big cam with lots of overlap...yeah it will smell like unburnt gas because that's what's actually going through your exhaust. The overlap means both the exhaust and intake valves are open at the same time...so there will inevitably be some fresh unburnt gas/air mixture getting sucked out of the exhaust without even getting a chance to be burned up in the combustion process.

If you are running breathers on your valve covers, especially the back of the drivers side valve cover, swspping back to a good pcv system will help. There will still be some gas smell but not as much. With my old 98 h/c/I car I had very bad gas fumes with breathers on the valve covers...i would reek of gas all day after driving the car...when I converted back to a pcv setup it fixed it and I hardly had any gas smell. That car had a TREX v2 in it.

blueish smoke is still a bad thing.
how much gas you are smelling is subjective, anybody saying it is normal after a cam install should be saying that some smell is normal but we can't say for sure if what you have is normal over the internet.

Far as "reputable" tuner, there are LOTS of "reputable" vendors who are sloppy or do mediocre work as the hard and fast rule. Not making any judgement on who you used, just saying reputation does not actually mean good nor does it mean infallible.
