i have a 2000 3.8L mustang
with a rouse racing chip and flow master exhaust.
is it even worth it to continue upgrading this or just to get a GT and start modding the v8?

well lets see. Obviously you want to go fast. Question is do u want to be different? Make gt cars hide from you? How much do you want out of your car? 500 hp is doable with 10k... Its totally up to you

well if you just want like 300-350hp i know where a great deal on a procharger kit is! The guy wants like 2700 bucks. Only 4000 miles and comes with 42 lb injectors. I could get you a deal on some ported heads too.
Send me a pm if you really wanna do some stuff to your car. I could hook u up

throttle body will not give you a rumble. You need to get dual exhaust. That will give you a lil rumble depending on the mufflers you use.
