Okay, from chapter 13 of the Silmarilion, pages 121-122:
Thus it was that he (Feanor) drew far ahead of the van of his host; and seeing this the servants of Morgoth turned to bay, and there issued from Angband Balrogs to aid them. There upon the confines of Dor Daedeloth, the land of Morgoth, Feanor was surrounded, with few friends about him. Long he fought on, and undismayed, though he was wrapped in fire and wounded with many wounds; but at the last he was smitten to the ground by Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, whom Ecthelion after slew in Gondoli
So Feanor fought for a long time against multiple Balrogs including Gothmog, the most powerful Balrog of all time. He ultimately was killed by Gothmog, but I believe that the fact he was able to hold his own for so long against multiple Balrogs, seemingly fighting evenly with them justifies an upgrade.
Also, Gothmog was slain by Ecthelion, who was one of the Noldor. Feanor's current stats are scaled from Galadriel due to the fact that Tolkien stated Feanor was the strongest of the Noldor, so either way he should be scaled from Ecthelion as well. I propose he be upgraded to high 7-A, Small Island level+, which is the level of the Balrogs.
