What platforms make power easier?

The thresholds would be different, depending on the basehp on the target vehicle.
Cheapest option? Probably a 30 to 40 year old cluncker with a crate motor.
Done properly, even a z boosted to 800 hp will end up costing you as much as a used hellcat. Done improperly, it will cost you more. There is no such thing as 800 HP for "cheaper than a Z". And that's assuming you mean "cheaper than a Z plus the cost of mods".
Realistically, a Z with 800 horses is probably gonna cost 25k over the price of the car.

Well what I was really asking is what other platforms allow me to get to my power goals for a less amount of money therefore being the better platform for making power. The car would need to be around the same price as a USED 370z.

800hp on pump will cost you about 35,000 USD maybe more with the Z. Any other JDM car will be about the same. Cheapest way to 800hp is American muscle.
