car won't start

have paxton h/o kit and also have had the car tuned from greg at racers edge for a while... ran beautifullly for abou a month or so... before that i was running a canned tune from brenspeed where i bought my kit from...
one day i reved up to 6400 and suddenly my car went on limp mode (i was going up hill) and then BOOM sounded like a big backfire...so i pulled over to see what the hell happened
the car turns over but does not start
well first i tried restarting the fuel cut off switch which did not work...i also took out my bap and reconnected to the factory wires to see if the bap went bad, the car still did not start
i checked all my fuses, they seem to be good
i can smell raw gas as im cranking the car.. seems like i'm getting no spark? but i disconnected the tb to see if the car can go into forced idle and it did so spark is present im guessing but the car surges and stumbles like crazy during that idle..
i checked my plugs and they are black... all of them...
i pullled apart my manifold and looked around the engine bay and i see no holes or rods sticking out..
when i turn the car on i can hear the fuel pump go on so it must be ok..

im wonering if it has something to do with my maf as i dont have a mafia and it did peg once while it was on the dyno?

help?? please??

I think I found the problem, the piping underneath the car for the s/c near the oil filter came off the clamp is gone and its just hanging loose, I have the car jacked up and going to put it back together, hope this fixes it. Check your piping maybe you'll get lucky also. I have been messing with this damm thing for two days; its drving me crazy; I'll let you know if this does the trick.

Got everything back together but still won't start, the plugs are black believe a set of new ones should do the trick. Hopefully.
