The statement of Chidori / Raikiri boosting speed doesn't exist in the story. This is a misinterpretation and I don't know how did it pass.
The user runs at full speed to boost the thrusting capability of Chidori / Raikiri in order to get the best results, the faster the user is, the more piercing his attack is. Head-on full speed sort of attack is stated to be easy to counter or avoid in the Naruto universe, and If the opponent counterattacks while they are running at full speed with Chidori / Raikiri, they'll be faced with an attack that has the speed of their own attacking speed in addition to their opponent's, which is very difficult to dodge without the enhanced reaction speed of the Sharingan. This is why Chidori is dangerous without the Sharingan, because it is a head-on full speed attack.
Kakashi had Sasuke increase his speed to increase the thrusting capability of Chidori, and trained his Taijutsu to effectively deal with the opponent's counter to it with the Sharingan
So, Chidori doesn't boost Sasuke's speed, it's the other way around. Sasuke's speed boosts Chidori's attack potence.
An example: What made Sasuke's Chidori fail to cut Madara when he attacked simultaneously with Naruto's magnet Rasengan, but his Chidori Spear slice the same Madara in half, and his base sword pierce through his chest, is not that his base sword and Chidori spear are superior to Chidori, but with the Chidori Spear he was running at a higher speed toward Madara than he was when he was using Chidori, and with the sword, Madara was the one that was moving toward it at full speed trying to blitz Sasuke. Not that the sword or even Chidori spear are more piercing than Chidori.
It is all explained in these scans from chapters 113-114
"Higher with Chidori" or "Higher with Raikiri" should be removed from these profiles

I'd also like to add that the Curse Mark doesn't boost speed. There are no statement nor feats showing it doing so. "Higher with CS1 or CS2" should also be removed from the speed category.
