Getting up the hill faster also has a lot to do with the gear ratio of your differential and transmission.
You can have high HP and gobs of torque, but if the coach is not geared right, you will still be heading up the hill in the right lane. Your engine won't be straining, but you are still going slower than if things were set up right, like most over the road rigs are set up that travel the mountains on a regular basis.
