Default Good alternative to Cometic Gaskets

Will be spraying anywhere from a 100-200 and maybe a little bigger if I forge the pistons/rods..

Lets just say I only do the 200 like once or twice and usually run the 100-150..

Is there anything thats good and wont cost me $170? Thats a lot of money for gaskets

Is there a cheaper place to get cometics?

any help appreciated...

unless you really need them for thickness reasons the gm MLS gaskets have been sealing great for me and other cars from the shop and holding 14lbs of boost without lifting too

should be able to get them under 60 for the pair too
