Car running rich, why?

Okay so this is not about my car or any lt1 running rich but about my friends 95 gt. So if you wanna move it then go ahead but i was unsure of where i should put this because its not really a lounge type question. But i just helped my friend install a cai and a magnaflow catback on his 95 gt that he just bought. When we finished up the install he started the car while i was near the rear alligning his tips. I could smell a lot of fuel coming out of his exhaust. That means the car is running rich correct? If so what causes a car to run rich. I know why it could run lean, but what makes it run rich?

Exhaust leaks, bad O2's, bad MAP, bad MAF.... There's a number of things that it could be...
