One thing though...based on your first post SD doesn't care about any of the changes you made. Cam changes are where the SD system has problems.
I just don't want you going through all these efforts and expense to switch to MAF if you don't need it. This is the SD section of the forum by the way.

I priced a MAf conversion kit through Jegs and they will cost me around 700.00 for Maf and the new ecu. I can get the jet module for around 275.00! Do you know of a cheaper MAF conversion kit? Any help please!

Don't buy brand new everything. You can get a A9L for about $100, a MAF for under $50 ( I picked up a 70mm Cobra MAF for $25), and the wiring you can either make your own harness or buy one.
Here is a harness for under $50

You just gotta be able to look for the deals. I have less than $250 in my whole EFI setup I am about to swap to let alone just a MAF conversion

How doe the jet module work? This is my first time of even thinking of using a chip? Does it come programmed from the dealer to match my upgrades or does it adjust itself after you install it into your ecu? Just wondering how it works? Thanks again for your advice and input!

The aftermarket chip's code is written for a bone stock set up. You can not write over the new chip. In this case it is actually a module (like you mention) that piggybacks the Ford computer. The code is rewritten for more spark advance and the air/fuel ratio. The chip is fine for what you have done thus far.
