Jeff, I had a leaking master cylinder seal that'd do similar to what you described; seems like more pressure is needed to maintain stopping power? Just an idea to toss around, maybe GMs stock cylinders don't have good ratios or sealing surfaces?
I don't mean as if the pedal drops, that's not it. More like plain old fade, just requiring more effort, not pedal stroke.
