MS2 (with some mods to the mainboard and MS2) or MS3 is needed for injection timing control.
If you went with a heated manifold and a TBI setup (or equivalent) it would work at least as well as a carb, but with programmable ignition.
Worth it for the ignition... Probably not so much for the fuel control, due to the SP heads.
To properly inject a singleport, you'd need MS2 and the siamese code at a minimum. There are people using that setup with the 5-port Mini head, I hear it works.
The guy who wrote the sequential code for MS2/3 has one of those old Minis...
The sequential/siamese code needed to run it properly with MS was his programming "itch".

Megatunix has nice command line and GUI MS1/MS2-extra loaders that work well on Linux/Unix (and OSX is UNIX)
If you don't have the dev stuff loaded and haven't done anything like that, installing Linux on a flash drive or external harddrive becomes the easy/fast way to get there from here... (as weird as that seems)
I suggest Ubuntu or Mandriva 2010.2, but I'm not quite sure how to get them on an Intel Mac, although I know you can.. EFI boot was supported on Linux before OSX existed. (to support Intel Itanium processors)
Maybe the megatunix author can send you a current OSX binary of the loader?
I think he dual boots his Mac.
It's a nice program, and the MS1 code isn't going anywhere.

i've got tunerstudio on my mac, but should i get the other one also then?
cheers! sorry for the dumbness
There should be a current release of Megatunix out RSN, not sure if there is a reasonably current OSX binary install.
Check on the megatunix forum on msextra

you don't, old version.
A new binary release is '"coming soon", but for now, build it yourself is the only way to get a current version.
On a Ubuntu/Debian based system:
apt-get install git
(this installs "git", a very powerful software version control system)
On Mandriva:
urpmi git
"git pull" pull the current git tree, make distclean just in case and run ./autogen.sh.
On OSX... it WILL build/run on OSX, but installing xcode and all the dependencies might take ... awhile..
Might be much easier/faster to install Ubuntu or Mandriva though and get it up to date.
(And yes, you can do that, Linux supported EFI boot before OSX existed)
Theres a good thread on building it on OSX//Ubuntu in the megatunix subforum of msextra, you'll need to also install the required dev packages to build it.
It sounds harder than it actually is, the package management//dependency resolution systems on modern Linux systems work very easy//well.
Once you have it working correctly, updating and rebuilding is a ~2 minute automatic process, depending on your machine speed.
Full disclosure:
I much prefer Mandriva now, but ran Slackware, Redhat, then Debian for many years, I'm one of those guys who was very happy when the first Slackware CD shipped... I ran Linux on my Amiga 3000 along with NetBSD1.0 from 1993 to ~1997...
