Backfiring/Sputtering

When i boost past 12 psi a couple of times my car has a tendency to sputter/ backfire and i can smell raw fuel, but after those couple of times its fine and boost 15 with no problem. Today i removed my plugs and distributor cap and im replacing the plugs along with the distributor cap that had 2 broke electro tips. I have new plug wires already ... im hoping by replacing this it will solve the problem. Do any of you guys know what might be causing this ??

Re: Backfiring/Sputtering

It sounds to me like you are running very rich.
Bad plugs/ignition would make that worse.

I would get new plugs, wires, cap and rotor.
