I drew out what I expect the Powerstroke torque curve would look like relative to a Cat C11. I think it is very interesting how these curves reveal the different pulling characteristics of ...

It should because the Cummins was making more HP than the Hemi.
Obviously the Cummins was putting more power to the ground because it went up the hill faster, However, my point was that the Hemi is rated at 410 HP while the Cummins is only rated at 370.
Do the math for corrected altitude and you will find out that the Cummins was putting out WAY more HP than the Hemi. That's why it beat the Hemi up the hill. As you know, it had nothing to do with torque.
Put a turbo on the Hemi to bring it back to corrected altitude and see what would have happened. Put a turbo on the Hemi to put out as much boost as the Cummins and the guy in the Hemi could eat a steak dinner before the Cummins arrived at the top of the hill. (Of course with this setup the Hemi owner would have to fill up his fuel tank a few times before he got to the top.) :B
