Default Z Smells of Gas Inside & Out???

Last week I changed the plugs and at the same time changed the sleeves and couplers for the SC tubing. Got everything back together and car smells like gas. It was mainly in the engine bay but now it in the car also. Smells of raw gas and not burnt fuel. One of the plugs we put in didn't look quite right and was wondering if it was the cause. Also car use to turn over 3 times and start like a champ now it takes like 6 turnovers and sometimes bogs. Any help from the experts appreciated. Thanks

Have you checked all of the Vortech fuel lines where it is spliced into the OEM fuel system? Mine came apart so, maybe yours is leaking. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? If so, what is the pressure?
