I'm sure this has been talked about a million times but my phone will not let me search on this site which sucks, and I don't have a lap or desktop. I put a 190hp p pump 12v out of a blue bird bus in my 89 first gen dually. I just can't seem to find out for sure if my pump is an 11mm or 12mm m, what it has to idle at, and whether it's worth a crap to modify.

It's not a race pump but will make a good DD and under 400 hp towing pump.

Just seems super sluggish. I removed the fuel plate and cranked the starwheel. It made a difference I just was hoping for more. I'd rather buy a maxed 160,180,or 215 pump, or a 12mm dragonfly. I do tow and plow with her. She's my work truck as well as dd I just want more power. Motor has some blowby. I'd like to do a rebuild with a new pump and turbo this summer. Here are some pics of her

Governor spring kit will improve throttle response. For towing I like a 10 plate.
Boost elbow or boost controller to increase boost pressure will make a difference also.
The F-450 in my sig is my tow rig, my engine was a 190 hp industrial but a spun bearing had sent medal into the pump, was going to have it repaired but was able to get a good deal on a 215 pump, had some issues with it wanting to overfuel in the midrange.
I know a few others using 190 pumps in DD- work trucks with good results, as I said their just not big hp pumps but with proper tuning and a little bigger inj they'll do 300+.

What would you recommend for a governor spring ? I've read that the 3k kits don't do anything for these pumps because of the size of the governor weights. And what about injectors? Like I said I still tow with her and work her but I'd like more get up and go to surprise people
 
You could go with the 4k gsk and watch the rpm or install a set of 60 lb valve springs also.
Not sure what size inj a 190 comes with, I installed a set of 5x.012's but sometimes wish I'd only when with 5x.011's, still need to do some more tuning.
215 engines came with 5x.0105 inj, for a near stock towing engine I wouldn't go over a set of 5x.012's.

How much boost will it make?

My boost gauge only goes to 30. Before i blocked the wastegate line off it would only make 29 until the fuel fell off now it goes the past 30lb mark. I thought about throwing an oil pressure gauge on the boost line and get a rough idea what it makes. The turbo is a wh1c
