I'm trying to determine whether the gap between Nappa (@Z-Fighters minus Goku) and Gohan's 2,800 power level Masenko should be larger than the gap between Raditz (1,250) and Goku's Kamehameha (924).

Here we see Nappa punching away Gohan's Masenko, as we can clearly see here Nappa is putting in a sufficient amount of effort in blocking the attack.

The attack is shown to have caused Nappa visible pain, as seen by him clutching his fist into his hand.

Now onto Raditz vs Goku's Kamehameha


Here we see Raditz dodging and running from the attack, obviously not wanting to confront it without being prepared first

He then decides to brace himself for it and takes a defense position which as we can see by the way his hair is sticking up and slouched posture still managed to cause quite a bit of trouble for him to block.

Raditz took less damage in my opinion, but Nappa as you said didn't attempt to prepare himself. I'd say Raditz's feat is slightly more impressive simply because he isn't noted to be as resilient as Nappa.

Both blocks are similar enough so going by statements nappa was more into and apparently more damaged from gohan's.

I'd say Raditz by virture of goku's attack being far closer to his power level than gohan vs nappa.

Raditz also took the blast head on while nappa deflects gohans

Yeah, I tend to rate outright blocking as more impressive than deflection, at least when it comes to damage taken.

Raditz, yes. Nappa deflecting it wasn't too much of a feat for someone of his PL (imo 6-7,000) but Raditz straight up tanked that shot that Goku was semi-confident in being effective.
