You could always pull 3 #8's through and run your compressor on 40 amp 240
volts. This would be a seperate cirucuit, would not run through the sub panel.

I can't give you chapter and verse (it has been too many years), but I
believe that may be against code. The issue is that it must be very clear how
to kill power to a building. However; if the compressor sat outside and the #8s
did not actually enter the garage...
