Your first step should be to read the Megamanual. Even though you might not understand much of it, you'll probably get the jist of things. If it just seems way to in depth and complicated for you, then MS is not for you most likely. MS offers you engine management. It can be configured to control your timing, NOS control, launch control, fuel injection, (obviously), and much more. It is also a fantastic learning tool to better understand engines and how they work.

Your efficiency will be determined by your tuning ability and what AFR you decide to run it at. I recommend using Microsquirt for that small of an engine. Microsquirt is a slightly modified version of MS2.

it will be really hard to run a MS from this engine -- what are you going to do for 12V (it is a 4-stroke weed eater style motor). Putting a O2 monitor on it will require even more power.......

Honda GX engines have been squired before - see this link for an example:

The MP part of MPFI might not make sense here, though - hard to do multi-port injection on a single cylinder unless it's an odd setup with two intake ports.
