Default Where do you get head gaskets for strokers?

I'm looking for a set of 4.125" bore LS1 head gaskets. Where do we get these? I like to have spare gaskets, etc around in case I need to take things apart.

I used cometic. I think they're around $70 each. I've heard of guys liking the felpros also.

My cometic's were 180, and I had them custom made through them directly. The fel pro's are like 24 a piece but only come in .052 thickness. Gotta use cometic if you want a different gasket thickness.

There is no regular thickness. I have seen them in .041, .043, .047, .051, but you have to figure out what thickness you need for p to v clearance, and static compression. Ross pistons has a really cool calculator on their web page.
