How hot do Viair compressors get?

Hello everybody I got my air ride installed this weekend, everything is working great, however the compressor gets HOT!

Details:

It's a single Viair 444c, and it's filling a 3 gallon tank, running two bags.

Here's the two diagrams I referenced:

Notice how ones says 85 goes to ground, and 86 goes to the pressure switch, and the other has those two flipped??? Does it matter??? I'm at work right now, but I'm pretty sure I went with 86 for ground and 85 to the switch.

Is it normal for these 12v compressors to get way too hot to touch? I'm using 8 gauge for the main positive feed going into the relay, (30) but it's really long at the moment for testing purposes (maybe 15 feet), will that do it? None of the wires or connections even get warm, just the compressor.
