Default Got a gurgle

Heres the problem. When Im driving and it shifts (AOD by the way) when it drops the rpms, I hear a gurgle noise...kinda hard to explain but it goes away the more I accellerate, then when it shifts again it does it again...Now mind you when I get on it I dont hear it but if I drive normal you hear it..It did it after the mods and I think it could be timing? The car drives great except for this weird gurgle....Any ideas would help, thanks all!!!!!!!!!

Not sure it kinda sounds like a mixture of air and gas burning at the same time

if its like my car it will go to 2 low of rpms when cruising sometimes and be in a rpm range where its not making any power 1000rpm-1400rpm and the car kind of shudders untill you get to a higher rpm range and the car has some torque to get it going

Yeah i think its about 2k rpms, is this normal or is there a way to fix it? Do you think bumping the timing a little might help?
