Has anyone here performed any head polishing on an XB? If so was there any noticeable improvement / power gain.

Porting. Yes and yes.
Polishing. No and there would be none.

A little off topic, but while you are here Pammy...

Any experience with reusing the new metal rocker box gaskets on an XB? Or is it not worth the risk?

Well, I have no experience with re-using gaskets. We can't do it for obvious reasons. You, on the other hand, are doing it yourself so all you will be out, is time if it didn't work out.
If I was doing it for myself, I would re-use the gasket.
Sorry so long worded, but I had to preface...
