I would say valve float.

If it were just an issue with not enough camshaft, then the power would just fall off in a curve.

In the last 500 rpm of the dyno sheet, we see the power go up, back down, up, back down, etc. That's a tell-tale sign of valve float. I would say that the engine needs a little more valve spring seat pressure.
