I have not got it installed yet though. I am not using the Powersport package, and the only issue with the cowling is that it was made to fit the powersport package, which moved the prop forward 2 inches. I spoke about this with Will James (Sam's son), he said the cowl could be cut and refiberglassed to fit the location of the standard Vans prop location, or use a two inch prop spacer. I was originally going to modify the cowl, but after seeing the excellent workmanship or the glass, I couldn't do it justice, so I have decided to go with a two inch spacer (Tracy has no objections to using a prop spacer by the way). I am using a Conversions Concepts Mount for my Renesis engine, and am waiting it return from the powder coaters. I am not sure of the prop location on the cowl for the RV8, but if you call Will at James Aircraft he would be able to answer that question for you, he was very helpful to me. Hope this answers or at least helps with your question.
