Angry Strong Gas smell, RPM's shooting up and down, loss of power..

Hi There.. I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500, it has many upgrades, throttle body spacer, air intake, headers, dual exhaust.. I've been experiencing stalling issues when I come to a stop.. Today I went to head out.. I noticed a strong gas smell and as I was driving the RPM's started shooting up and down, trying to stall but when I put it in neutral it stopped. When I stepped on the gas the rpm's would drop and I would have no power? WTH is going on?! Any recommendations would be great! Thanks. *Recently changed the fuel pump so I know it isn't that..
