Default Injectors installed, new spark plugs. Bogs when driving for a little while.

I've been searching and can't seem to find the issue with my car, I just installed 440s for my Vortech, with a utec running a tnetics base map so I can drive it to my tuner. (40 miles).

Car drives fine, I don't rev above 3500 and after about 6 or 7 miles the car starts to bog down and smells badly of fuel. Right before it starts to bog I put a little more gas and it's\s go away at a higher rpm but then it'll just start slowing down eventuelly. I'm a rookie so this may sound stupid, but when I leave it in my garage sitting over night the whole house is full of gas fumes, I wonder of there excess gas in my exhaust.

Weird things is I'll let the motor sit for about an hour and It'll run fine for a little while and then bog again. There is no CEL issues, but when it begins to bogs badly after a few minutes the SES flashes.

I'm too afraid to drive it to my tuner if the bog persists, can anyone help or have some input.

If you run way too rich, which it sounds like you are, it will wash your cylinders. This is not good. Don't drive it. Take it on a flatbed.
