Default rear end and gear ?s

hey guys will a set of 3.55 gears from a 05 mustang gt, fit in a 87-93 8.8 rear?

also a buddy of mine just got a stang, and he says if he power brakes the car will leave 2 patches of rubber.ld but he did a donut and there was only 1 tire mark left...does this mean he needs to rebuild his trac-lok?

any help is appreciated...thanks

ok, so will 3.55 gears out of a 05 gt work in a stock fox rear?

and does anyone know how much of a difference will there be with a rebuilt trac-lok compared to a worn ut 1 wheel peel track-loc?
