Summary of the problem: Perfect run up at 2000 RPM with small mag drops, but the engine does not develop max power. (Please trust me when I say that it is NOT developing full power).

Ordinarily I'm pretty trusting, but, I think it would be in your best interests to be a little more forthcoming.  What is it that leads you to the conclusion that it is not developing full power?  The most common way to tell if you have a loss of power is to not a substantial change (downward) in static RPM.  You have not stated that that is the issue.

If the engine runs smoothly on each and both mags and your static RPM is good, then you'd be hard pressed to convince me that it isn't making good power.

That said, if there truly is a power loss, the only thing I can think of that's related to to work you did thaty you haven't verified is the dry tappet clearance on the valves of the affected cylinder.  Any chance you switched the pushrods or rockers?  what exactly was done to the cylinder?
