Smells like Gas BAD!!!

well i had my new NX wet kit installed like a month ago, havent really used it nmuch except for on the dyno, but now my car really smells like gas. I dont have any cats, but it never smelled like this before i got the NX kit put on. I checked all the fittings, on the fuel rail, the Fuel Solinoid, pretty much every NX related part and they are all dry. It seems like when i fill up with gas its worse till the tank gets down a litte, so could this be because of a bad Filler neck gasket?
I get like 175-200 miles to a tank in regular daily driving, mostly country driving. But when i drove here to IL from DC in 6th 99.9% of the time i got about 320-350 miles per tank. Is my gas milage really that far off? My air-fuel gague doesnt show me running that rich, but when we put it on the dyno with the wideband air/fuel measurements it showd that i was running rich N/A and extremly rich, like off the scale rich with the nitrous. I think in some places it was up to 10/1 and like 9.5/1 when it fell off the chart.
sorry for such a long post but its driving me nuts and i really need to know whats causeing this, i have new O2's ready to put in if that might help.

When you were checking the plumbing for the N2O fuel supply, did you check to see if the fuel solenoid was leaking fuel into the intake?

no i did not, that may be the cause i'll check it out tomarrow, but how could the fuel solinoid leak fuel if the system isnt armed? a bad seal?
