Am I Experiencing Torque Management?
It seems that whenever I accelerate hard from a low rpm in 2nd or 3rd gear (like pulling out of a curve) it feels like the car gains speed in increments with millisecond plateaus or "flat spots; not what I would consider a "smooth" acceleration curve.

Since an LS2 motor makes maximum torque at 4400 rpms I would think not.
As a test you could try accelerating from about 3500 to 5300 in those gears in a straight line at maximum throttle opening.
At least in my car there is no loss of anything in this range.
