It looks like it only goes through 95. Would be an issue with pats. What is wrong with your present one.

My Key is dull so it wont engage in the tumbler very well so i have to jiggle and jank around the mechanism until it engages and its a pain..
Ford doesn't have the key schematics after 7 years. They get rid of them. So i can't really get a new key cut because my old key sucks. And ford wants 200 bucks for a new tumbler and 300 bucks to get the tumbler cut and a key for it...
If i can find an aftermarket tumbler with a programable chip i could get it fixed for 100 bucks but i can't seem to find one. The Tumblers are like 50 bucks and the key is like 30 to program at a locksmith... Can i get a new key cut to match my tumbler, rather than the old key?

I have seen that done on tv. Call a locksmith and get a price. I guess as long as you have your pats key close to the non pats key it would still work. Sounds ghetto but you could tape your pats key to the bottom of the column and use the other one.

A good locksmith could make you a key. Then order a new chipped key off of ebay and get it cut from the one that the locksmith made then program it in.

Can they make a key just from my tumbler? Because then i guess i could just get a Chip key and give them my tumbler then they could go from there. I think they can also just use my old chip and copy the code onto a new one.

I do not think they can copy anything to do with the chip. The danger might be if they screw up with just a plain blank it is not a big deal cost wise. If they do it with a chipped key it gets more expensive.
