Default head gasket : how thick ?

Right now I'm running 11:1 on a jdm type r motor. I'm also running ~8.5 pounds of boost. I'd like to get to 9.8 ~ 10.2 CR. The motor has all stock internals. The only problem is all the 2.2 - 3 mm thick head gaskets I see are all $200-$400 (hks,greddy,toda...) I don't want to do pistons, beacuse I'm saving for another project. Does someone make something in a better price range ? How thick do I even need it ?

p.s. I don't know if this matters, but the boost is comming from a JRSC with a stepper pulley. It is hondata tuned right now with no problems, but you never know...
