Default 95z quit running and now wont start?

so my car is a 95z28 m6 its heavily modified, i got the car from a guy that owed me money so i dont know a lot of the exact specs but this is what i know, its got a full exhaust edelbrock headers, world heads, bbk dual throttle body, the intake is not stock but i cant say for sure that its the lt4, its got a comp cam of some sort and comp roller rockers,the car is lowered and its got a paxton supercharger on it. the fuel lines are braided ss and its got a vortech fuel pressure regulator. i was driving it and it stopped responding to the throttle and then it wanted to shut off , i could keep it running if i stayed on the gas but i wouldnt idle on its own. it did restart once and ran ok for a half mile then same thing again and it now will not start . it does turn over good. the car has gas in it and the fuel pump does run the car has run really rich ever since i have owned it. i know this sounds like a fuel problem and it may be but im leaning towards something else being the problem. any input is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Have you checked to see if you are getting fire to the plugs? Any codes?

im not following what you mean by the "double post" are you referring to me posting my issue in both the general "fourth gen" forum and the more specific "lt1" forum ? if so i thought this would only make sense since both of these categories describe my car. if this is against the forum rules i apologize and will remove one of them.

LOL at craby! I was thinking I had already replied to the post then realized it was posted in 2 different places.

The reason why it's smarter to only post in one place, is because one persons answer can sometimes make another person think of something else.
It's called brainstorming, but I think I feel a little fog rolling in right about now...
