It's normal for it to hang for a bit as the PCM has an electronic "dashpot" function to prevent the engine from stalling when the throttle is cut.

However if it is hanging for few seconds as you describe then the IAC is sticking and needs to be replaced...

Did you turn off the traction control in the tune?

Send me your stock tune (from the Original Files folder), and the tune that is acting up--I will compare them side-by-side with Delta Force and see what's up...
