Default Newbie power lag question

Hey guys I just bought an 08 C6 Z51 with 17K miles (manual) and today when driving home I noticed when shifting from 1st to 2nd there was a split second of power lag/delay when flooring the throttle once in second gear...however it did not do it on other acceleration runs in the same gear? It could be just me not timing the shift well (im still learning the sweet spot)...traction control and active handling were both on...should I be concerned?

Just wanted to add that it seemed like when I would disengage the clutch late then apply throttle there was a delay (by that I mean pushing the throttle pedal and no response immediately even tho the clutch was fully disengaged) but if I disengaged the clutch and applied the throttle with good timing there was no delay just nice acceleration...maybe im reading too much into this? Maybe I just need to become a better driver

Turn your AH/TC off and try it, it shouldn't have a delay, but you might get some wheelspin.

Torque Management, can only be changed in a tune.
