As long as there is still some adjuster left now, you will be fine.
If your adjuster is run all the way to the back with the current set-up, you may have to take one link out when you mount the 49t.

Did you purchase a sprocket because your other one is worn?
If so, your chain is more than likely trashed. Measure it to be certain.

I went down a tooth b/c i wanted a little more bite off the bottom end for the tight trails and woods i ride.

If you wanted a little more acceleration then you needed to add a tooth to the rear. If you were having problems with wheel spin and wanted to lessen that problem (get more bite) then removing a tooth would be the way to go.

I wasn't really sure what you meant by "get more bite."

yeah i was having problems getting out of corners w/o the tires going crazy.
