Default Headgasket for cheap SOB's like me

I decided to go with a TT HG to lower the compresion on my NA-T sc300 project.
The goal is 400whp as cheap as possible. The best price on a TT gasket was from carjunky.com.
$92.61 shipped

Made by these guys in Japan,Taiho Kogyo Co., Ltd.

The quality is first class

I know most people would say,"I would rather get an OEM". Or something like: get a Greddy or HKS you fool before your engine blows.
But then again most people on SF said the same thing when I used a cometic gasket on a friends NA-t and suggested they try it as well. They basically called the cometic gasket cheap crap and sugested among others a "high quality" 2.5mm BL headgasket. Guess what BL sells you the same cometic gasket for $100 more. Yes a BL gasket is a Cometic gasket.

But anyway,what makes you think rockauto sells OEM gaskets. They sell OEM replacemet gasket just like the one from carjunky does, but it cost more. (just a little) The rockauto gasket is made by CORTECO

You will not get a TT HG from Toyota for less as far as I know
