Throttle Hesitation on WRX 2015

Hi all so today and yesterday are the first days I've gotten on my car since owning it new. I notice when shifting from first to second with throttle to the floor and clutch fully disengaged I get about one second before throttle goes back to wide open. It just feels like a quick Hesitation then kicks back into throttle. Normal? It's almost like I'm shifting to fast or something. I'll bet if I slowed down it would stay. But seems irrelevant to the situation. Just wondering what I could try. I got the access port today and am running a stage 1 93 octane map. It does it with the map and it did it before the ap. Looking for any ideas. Maybe I just suck at shifting this car and need more practice? It's different response than a lot of other manual cars I've driven. Thanks guys!

I personally think the clutch and pressure plate still need a little more time to break in before they can handle the WOT fast shifts. But, I very well may be wrong. If that's the case, you should have the dealer check it out to be safe.

Maybe someone else here can provide some input.
