Seeing as though 116-117 octane fuel isn't sold at most fill-up shops, wouldnt it be difficult or impossible to travel long distances in a supra? Likewise, could boring out the engine to say 3.4L make any difference.
Would you say that it would be more or less expensive to tune other vehicles (Evo,mustang,etc.) to the same HP of an MKIV supra?

For 1000whp with a 3.0L engine, you'll need something other than pump gas.
As long as you aren't planning to actually
use that 1000hp during long distance rides, they can be done with pump gas.
Boring the engine to 3.4L could reduce the octane requirements slightly, but even 10 cylinder Vipers run race fuel at that hp level.
Evo no...but if you want to go fast in a straight line (only), nothing's cheaper to mod than a mustang. If you want to turn corners fast too, that's another story.
