The engine produces maximum power at an rpm less than governed engine speed.

To obtain optimum engine performance on a grade, allow the engine speed to load down to near peak torque before shifting. This will result in an engine operating speed in the maximum power zone after the shift is completed.

Refer to the engine dataplate for peak torque rpm and governed speed rpm.
