American pickups are good. It wouldn't sound Exactly like an american strat ( because of woods, quality, fretboard wood, etc.) but it sure would make it a hell of alot better. Just another suggestion, you could go for the vintage noisless pu's, or one of my favorites, the hot noisless. The hot noisless have a great clean sound and when the amp's on overdrive it has a really great punchy sound, and great bridge pickups great too.
