Yes its normal, you need a good heatshield, it has been known for them to melt the paint off the bonnets with the heat, also front grilles!

Assuming that your car isn't, this is something that is improved with live mapping. Optimising the ignition timing can reduce these temps. Unfortunately generic maps have to be conservative and therefore retarded in terms of ignition timing.
That said, it's always going to be bloody hot, just not quite as hot once properly mapped.
