Recently, I have re-read the hobbit and have made two calc compilations here and here. Both have been accepted and upgrade the verse massively.

Attack Potency Upgrades
Gimli and Legolas should be upgraded to 937.2812 Kilojoules. Gimli currently scales to Thorin – the dwarf who is responsible for the calc. Legolas scales to Gimli. While Aragorn and Boromir, should be upgraded to "At least 9-B” rating as they upscale from the previous calc based on statements from Legolas that the two are the strongest in the group.
Frodo, Samwise, and Bilbo should be upgraded to 9-C, based on this feat done by Bilbo

Speed Upgrades
Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn, and Boromir should all be upgraded to “Atleast Superhuman” Speed via upscaling from this feat done by Thorin.
Frodo, Samwise, and Bilbo should also be upgraded to Superhuman – although to a lesser degree – based on this feat done by Bilbo.

Lifting Strength Upgrades
Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn, and Boromir should be upgrade to Class 50 via upscaling from this feat done by Thorin.
Frodo, Samwise, and Bilbo should be upgraded to Athletic Human LS based on this feat from Bilbo.

If I may add, I feel the main fellowship that scales to Thorin should be upgraded further to 9-B+ considering their current justification comes from scaling to trolls who downscale Ents based on Treebeard's statement, whose version of the stone crushing feat is 20 Megajoules.

Although I disagree with using the 9-B feat for Bilbo unless we know if he's collided with people while running at top speed, otherwise I think his 9-C feat of jumping over Gollum should be used.

Additionally, I recall it mentioned while Frodo and Sam were leaving the Ranger's hideout in Gondor that Faramir and his men surprised the hobbits with their speed. Given the difference between Bilbo's feat and baseline Subsonic is only 20.86%, I think Legolas, Boromir, Aragorn, and Gimli should qualify for upscaling to baseline Subsonic.

Certainly, but I am only in the first book of LOTR, so I still have to read some more.
 
Looks alright to me, though, I saw nothing approving the "+" sign mentioned in one of the comments if I am reading correctly.
