Anybody have any tips on how to get 50 and above in puzzle rush survival? I am 3150 in normal puzzles and have only reached 48 in puzzle rush.

Yes!

It was actually a goal of mine to reach 50+ and it literally took me one year (pretty much to the day) of trying almost every day. I burnt myself out on puzzles for months

You may also benefit from the Quantum Calculation technique I learned from GM Daniel Naroditsky. It really helps with some of those calculation-heavy puzzles closer to 50:
