Not knowing at what load the engine was at when you captured 49"Hg pressure makes the answer to your question difficult. Keep in mind that the reading is in absolute pressure, which includes the 29.92"Hg atmospheric pressure. So, your captured reading is only 19" of boost, which is completely plausible, but varies depending on load. I am at about the same elevation as you and both of my CRD's will see above 60" under hard acceleration. So, I do not believe your reading is "high".
Agree, engine load factor would be most helpful.
compensating for elevation difference, 49"inhg @ his 497' elevation = 23.77psia
still a most believable and good number if taken at full load operation.
