350 vs 355

If you had two identically prepped LT1 engines with the exception of the size of the bore (.030") difference, which I believe is a 355, how much more HP would a 355 produce??

I would say five at most. You bore 30 over to clean up the cylinder walls, not for an increase in HP...

I saw an increase in horsepower going from 350 to 355 but I went with pop up pistons which increased my compression and got a new dynotune so that probably had alot to do with it.
