a t lock would stop the one wheel peel but an 8.8 will hold more power AND stop the one wheel peel.

wont need 8.8 less ur going F/I and pushing like 300+ RWHP, as christorres fucked his shit up with that much power with a t-lok <-- tlok like 100 bucks or some shit have it installed and both spinny spinny

a gt rear end will bolt up to your car.

ok.. lol

I think you have some words confused here.

an axle is part of the rear end.. it's not the "rear end"
an 8.8 / 7.5 is refering to an entire rear end.. axles, pumpkin, housing, gears, bearings, yada yada.

you can either get a 7.5 t lock and call it a day or get a 8.8 rear end

You don't need the 8.8 unless you're going to have big power. Otherwise it will just cost you a whole whole lot more money. Plus I'll tell you right now that it is hard as shit to find a used 8.8 in good shape for a good price.

I was looking into doing this a while ago when i was getting my 3.73s... might be a stupid question but is a limited slip differential the same thing as a t-lok? and can someone link a site to buy one for the 7.5 rear end please and thank you
