I have to agree. I play an SRV Strat and a Custom Classic Tele both
are strung with .13's and sound just fine. I do downtune to Eb
though, that may explain my success. Are you doing the same or do
you have it up to E? I use the GHS Boomers as well as the Gibson
Powerlines and find they both are awesome strings for tone quality.
Go through a set about every month (3 to 5 weeks depending on
frequency of playing as I'm just a home hacker :-)).

thing that I can think of that is causing the issue with the 13's on
the Highway 1 Strat is that the truss may not have been installed
enough towards the back of the neck. Thus it would not be able to
counter-act the pull of the heavy strings. If this is the case, over
time even the 10's will bow the neck. I've had no prob with 13's on
three recent Mexi-Strats so I don't think it's a case of not
makin' 'em like they use to.
