Default Alarming gas and exhaust smell

i have a 95 camaro z28, supercharged,6 speed, and all these little goodies. when i drive the car, i has a strong smell of exhaust and gas. i think there is a leak but i don't know were. does anyone know what it might be? p.s. it also has to fuel pumps. i bought the car as is, i didn't put any mods on it.

Any smell of fuel should be attended to immediatly, before you drive the car AT ALL; as it could be a potentially dangerous, anddeadly, fire hazard. Hopefully it is just an exhaust leak of some kind ( maybe in the junction ofone of the intermediate pipes underneath the car), but if it is a fuel leak then you should definatly get that fixed before you go driving around, for your own safety.

i didnt install them but the owner said that he put them in so he could get more fuel into the engine. funny thing is the fuel pressure and oil guage dont work so im gunna get them fixed.
