Actually, If I would not have checked the amps when I first installed it, you would never suspect that anything is unusual. When it kicks on at 120psi it only takes about 1 second, or less, to get up to full speed. The only thing noticeable is that the lights flicker. With my old, smaller compressor the lights never changed when it started. The flickering lights are what got my attention so I got out my digital, clamp-on amp meter. It is possible that the meter is wrong, though. When I get the chance I'll borrow a different one and compare. I am going to change the wire to 10ga and call it good for now. Thanks again.
