if you redirect it with 301 you will be fine. It can take some time for google to drop the old result from the index though... just be patient

Also when i google mysite.com the old mysite info comes up but i want my

A 301 redirect can take anything from 1-2+ weeks. Also, you can set the 'Preferred Domain' in Google Webmaster Tools.

Note that in most cases, the best way to pass link juice/PR through a site is by using the correct internal linking structure and not through a 301 redirect. Additionally build links to the other pages.
