Has it always been like that or just starting to happen? Could be hydroboost starting to fail, but the chevy's with hydroboost have a little bit of a spongy pedal from the factory. Not sure but if I remember right Chevy had a recall on the hydroboost system. I would call your local Chevy garage and give them you vin to see if it does. Best of luck
