Everybodys favorite...SE cylinders,pistons,heads(110"),cams(260),sert,heavy breather,stock throttle body & injectors and V&H big radius pipes.
I think you have 2 probs.....
1. is the cam
Sele cting a Camshaft The intake closing point relative to bottom center listed in the table can be used as a general indicator for the shape of the torque curve. Earlier intake closing values will result in higher torque at low engine speeds (along with lower horsepower at higher engine speeds). Later intake values will result in higher horsepower at high engine speeds (along with lower torque at low engine speeds). Intake Closing (deg ABDC)
Less
Early intake closing indicates a
than 30°
low speed torque cam.
30° – 50°
M edium intake closing indicates a
mid-range torque cam.
Greater
Late intake closing indicates a
than 50°
high speed power cam.
Intake closing values are just one indicator of the shape of the torque curve. Camshaft lift and duration along with the cylinder head‘s port size and flow, engine displacement, compression ratio, and throttle size also play a roll in the shape of the torque curve.

SE-260 CAM KIT* This cam is designed around large displacement and high RPM engines. This cam should be used with high compression, performance heads, and open intake and exhaust. This cam is used in the 103" and larger Stage 4 Race Kits. It has the lift and duration necessary to take advantage of the 110+ and CNC ported heads.
For race application only. 25122-02 Harleys words....right out of the book

This would be a great cam for a super charger......
The cam is coming on where I want the power to be, this is a dyna and not a bagger, so the power doesn't have to be down low. I figured that the pipes were the culprit and I just can't bring myself to switch over to a 2-1 just yet. I can't feel this dip, but after seeing it on paper, was wondering what was causing it.

I'm running an Andrews 54H and my torque curve is very close to yours. I'm running the V&H Big Shot Staggered, nearly the same pipe..probably the exact same pipe to the engine, lol.
As you say, I can't feel the dip because it revs through it so fast you wouldn't know it was there.
haven't seen many dynos with that cam, and also feel that it's kinda big for your application...the stock throttle body cannot flow enough air for those cams...i would use a smaller cam and the results would be a lot more torque below 3500 rpm and about the same horsepower
A Supertrapp 2/1 will allow your tuner to extract the power via working with the disc's, and broaden the torque, and may make more peak torque and hp as well.
