W210 AC not cold enough

I'm trying to figure out how cold my AC should be and was wondering what other have for Evap temp values, or vent temp with a thermometer.

I was having trouble with the poor cooling and wildly fluctuating high side pressure. I replaced the TXV and drier, vacuumed the system and put in just under 36 ounces (I know a its a little overfilled) or fresh 134a.

The evap, and both heater core temps are all in the low to mid 50's F. The high side pressure is back down to 8 on the highway and up to 15 in traffic. No matter what I do I cannot get lower then 49F evap temp. The compressor is not shutting off and the low side pressure is 38-42psi, and nothing seems to effect it.

I just moved to DC for the summer and really want cold AC.
