I have a Squier stratocaster and was wondering if I put fender strat pickups in it would it sound the same as a Fender Standard Stratocaster? 8)

Kind of, but it wouldn't feel like a Fender. I put Fender Custom Shop Texas Specials in it and it drastically improved the sound so it's right on par with my Fender (which also has non-stock pickups). But the feel is different. Honestly the Fender feels like a more expensive, nicer guitar. Not to slam Squier though, I love my Squier Strat and I play it everyday. But there's only so many modifications you can make, and it still won't be a Fender.

It also depends which Fender pickups you put into it. I actually liked my stock Squier pickups better than my stock MIM Fender pickups.

Thanks,
I love my strat too but was looking to try to get the fender tone out of it. I agree, I've played a few different Fender strats and it doesn't feel the same. Definetly Fender is higher quality no doubt. Thanks texasguitarslinger 8)
