Default 09 TC acceleration/auto shift hesitation

It could be that I just don't know how the auto tc operates, but I have a 2009 with a race land CAI and am wondering why when I accelerate up to 6k Rpms it runs fine but then starts jerking or hesitating as it auto shifts. Is that normal and can anything be done about it? Because I'm losing precious seconds during my acceleration as it jerks from what I assume is the car shifting gears. Any help would be awesome.

How many miles on the car? Tune up done?

84k no tune ups since i bought the car 14k miles ago. Frequent oil changes and the occasional use of seafoam to a full tank

Have you changed your transmission fluid?
Try a drain and fill with some quality product until it comes out clear.
Also check the motor mounts. I might have too much play causing the the car to jerk.
