i know this has been covered but i dont have time too look through pages i just want answers too what it could be please.
my car is idling at between 1000-1300 rpm- is this normal?
its running rich as ****- can smell fumes instantly
its a new forged bottom end
its got a sard adjustable fuel reg fitted
running walbro high flow internal pump
lots of things have already been replaced, do u think it just needs a tune or something else?
any help appreciated

Too many variables.
best take it for tune if it was ok before hand and suddenly changed,
or if you changed something, swap things back till it fixes it or check the new parts are set up properly.
Could be as simple as a leaking injector on a cheap Aeroflow fuel rail.
air goes in the leak as fuel comes out. idles high and smell like fuel.

you cane not make accurate and reliable assumptions based on smell, also upon start up the ECU reads the engine is cold via the CTS, the ECU adjusts accordingly by injecting more fuel

This figure is to high according to the factory idling speed of 650 rpm +/- 50(rpm). The idle is measured via an external tachometer as the factory gauge may give inaccurate readings.

Do you have it set to the correct pressure for your application
baby it to a tuner and get it tuned or bolt all your gear to it and have it tuned.
Yu have had the engine built so I assume you would not half ass it and take unnecessary risks.
get it tuned mate
