Do you have the stock clutch master cylinder? Mine is doing the same thing and a guy who works on a lot of f bodys that drove my car said I need a Tick Performance master cylinder. You can try flushing the old fluid out and bleeding the system.

For some reason GM decided to put restrictor in the braided line, either the drill mod or a new master should fix your problem if your restrictor has already been drilled out
