First of all, I want to say that Godspeed isn't a strength amplification, it is a huge speed amplification. A speed amplification so great that Killua in base will never be able to achieve the same speed even with his "bottomless" and "1 in 10 million" potential.
Before you say "Killua in Godspeed was able to make Youpi move and doing that is higher than anything his base can", it really isn't. Knuckle was able to make Youpi go flying with a single punch, should he be 8-A? And crucially he did 0 damage.
Therefore Chimera Ant Arc Killua should just be 8-B with Godspeed as a speed amplification. The issue here is that he is unfazed with fighting Illumi, which we take as him scaling physically. I would disagree with this because he would blitz Illumi quite badly with Godspeed and his electricity ignores durability.
Also I think Killua's intelligence should be increased to Genius, his childish nature makes him seem Gifted but I feel Genius should be fine for a few reasons. His general knowledge is clearly extensive, showing knowledge on behavioural research. Also trained i darts and has completely mastered it, using this knowledge mid-combat. It is clear he has been trained in general topics as assassin training. He has an impressive memory. As we know, Killua is a master assassin with extensive knowledge on assassination techniques, including those of supernatural nature that normal assassins could never attain. I would say actual combat skill Killua is too lacking to be called a genius in this regard evident if you've read the Greed Island Arc so he would be gifted in this regard. Though he is skilled with many weapons, even yo-yos.
One of the reasons why I think Killua should have genius intelligence is his analytical skills, he can tell the strength, powers and skills of others with a glance. He can tell their nature as he did with Hisoka's bloodlust and Majtani (The dude from Trick Tower in the Hunter Exam) hadn't killed anybody in his life. His strategic skills. Biscuit Krueger relied on him to create a strategy to defeat Genthru. The Extermination Team relied on his theories before they entered the battlefield and when on the battlefield he instantly adapted to the unforeseen events without hesitation. His fight against Sub who was a much stronger opponent and could have one-shot him showed his intelligence in combat. His analysis o Knuckle vs Go.
The main reason is his genius in Nen. Killua created Godspeed in the midst of combat, a very complex Hatsu which causes his body to ignore the nervous system. Also his Nen allocation is near perfect, something he did with pure skill.
