2.75" is the smallest I have seen. I personally would not want to spin my higher than what a 2.75" does.
I actually believe I gained more power on my Radix going back to a 2.9" I was shifting at 6200 (approx 17.5k Radix rpms), and believe it was creating too much heat to be worth it. Just something to think about. My gtec times were better with the 2.9" and I only lost about 3/4 of a pound of boost.

What I/C setup did you have?

Running a better heat exchanger on the radix might allow you to run more boost, but there will be a point, where it can only cool so much. Plus you need to make sure you don't overspin the blower.
