Going by the RAW Heroic Grace doesn't add to Basic Speed. If you're going to give a bonus based on DX then it should be adding +0.75 and +1.75 to Basic Speed. However, if the goal is to simplify I'd go with +1.00 and +2.00 to Basic Speed, which also gives +1 and +2 to Basic Move. Honestly though, I'd probably just go by the RAW and have it not give a bonus to Basic Speed.

By RAW Heroic Vitality does add to Basic Speed, so should get the +1/+2 Basic Speed and Basic Move bonus I mentioned above.

That's essentially the effects on Basic Lift for ST 11 getting a +3/+7 ST bonus. The Holy Warrior starts with ST 13, which would have Basic Lift +17 lbs and +46 lbs with the +3/+7 ST. I'd probably round those to +20 lbs and +50 lbs in a simplified system.
