Everytime I go WOT on my AA supercharged M3 I smell gas in my car. If I open my window, the smell is much worse. I checked the hood for possible leak around fuel line connector and injectors, but there is no sign of leaks.
Is this normal for a force induction cars with large injectors ?? If not, what should I check first ???

is black smoke pouring out of the exhaust? :P If so, you're running pig rich.

I do too, but I also have a track pipe. There's a slight smell of gas coming from the car all of the time. It's never overwhelming though.

hmmm I dont know for sure if my car blowing black smoke or not. I know for sure that I dont see excessive smoke from my rear view mirror, but I'll have a budy drive behind me when I go wot to check.

Any other possibilities than running super duper rich and no apparent leaks under the hood ?

Check your fuel tank and overflow. I had the same problem that became much more evident once I increased the power of the car. With the extra power comes more g's which can cause fuel to slosh out that you may not have been able to do when you were still NA.

Do a search on the whole board, there are quite a few writeups about the issue.
