Question HP and Tourqe help?

I got an 02 4x4 blazer. I was wondering what some nice mods would be to increase torque and HP. I'm running disk brakes all the way around and I cant even roast my tires. Would it help to convert to drums in rear? Im just looking to increase the power, Its my toy and I wanna have fun with it! Would deleting the cat give it some hp? Im running a glasspack too. Would putting a proper muffler on increase it alot?

When I replaced my muffler with a glasspack I did not notice a gain or loss in power. I can hardly spin my tires right now but I could spin my old ones all day. I have no idea about the disk breaks because mine came with drums.

My old tires were pretty much bald though..

I have a 97 and have a hard time gettingthem not to break free.. everything's pretty much stock. 208000 miles even.regular maintenance only. But before I got it the throttle body mod was already done. If you haven't done this it does give some extra oomph.

Also would putting a bigger gear ratio in the rear help? Mines kinda shot anyway, i need to replace it but I dont know whether to go the same or bigger.
