I'm not sure what you mean by "lose" like soft?? It sounds like you have a hydraulic issue. If the pedal gets soft, that mean you have air in the system. Not sure if the SS can really be bleed, or not. Some G.M. cars have to be "pumped up" via clutch pedal. Check master cylinder fluid level and color with clutch engaged and disengaged, try and "pump clutch to make pressure, bleed slave cylinder if problem stays. P.S. fluid in reservoir should be nearly clear, if not be concerned shop that did install did not properly bleed your clutch.
Go to the manual tranny section in gen IV tech. sounds like you need to do the drill mod, flush your clutch fluid, and see where you're at then. If that fails, get an adj M/C, and if all else fails, a new slave cylinder and clutch. Camaros are well known for this problem.

That orifice that gets drilled is there to prevent fast shifting, they drill it, they think they're liable for any damages it causes.
Try a performance shop, preferably one that knows f bodies.
