Will I lose to a 1 ton dually?

My father-in-law has a brand new Chevy one-ton dually with a 454 that he swears will stomp a mudhole in my camaro. I just laugh and tell him to put the crackpipe down. But then I got to thinking, he does have half again as much engine as I do, not to mention twice as much rubber in the back. Although his truck does weigh half again as much as my Z. So does anyone know just how fast the new chevy 454 trucks are? My car runs about a 14.5, is that fast enough to beat him? If I lose, he'll never let me live it up.
