Default run problem

im not exactly sure where to post this (which shows you how stumped i am bout this one) but while driving my 99 Z28 i always feel it run funny. no matter what gear (6spd) as i accelerate it will steadily climb Rs until right around 2500 it makes a noticeable stop in smoothness of acceleration, then picks right back up again. this happens anytime im giving it enough gas to wanna wait to shift that long but not if im pedal down hard (not that i can tell at least) what could this be?? or is it just a normal ls1 thing due to stock tuning or something? anything you can give me would help even if its just a diagnostic tip. much appreciated

Clean the MAF with a $4 can of MAF cleaner and q-tips, report back. And your 13.7 run @104 is in line with the mods you have.
