Stock camaro's that weigh like half your buddies truck and the same engine power if not more do not run 12's. ...
I agree, my neighbor put a 6.0 in his truck with headers and cam and custon tune, he is in the high 13's. He is a GM world class mechanic working at a local dealership, so he knows his stuff. 1/8 mile times maybe?

The engine didn't feel weak I just don't think the acceleration was as good as some Hemi's I have driven.

I would agree with that, most GM trucks are not geared as agressively as the Dodge's either
