I've never pushed Supra 800, but it would probably hold up well at 1600.

I would rather push a pro grade film, like Fuji NHG II 800, rather than the
consumer grades (Superia). Superia 800 tends to severly bloom on reds (car
tail lights, etc.), even when not pushed. I imagine all those red photons
saturate the red layer quickly, then start reflecting sidewards. Really
ugly stuff under the wrong conditions.

I have found that by using a 24/2 with 800 works out well. The lower
possible shutter speeds make up for the loss of 1 film stop.
