I can only imagine several ways:
EOC from the top of the 1st hill then go slow in a high gear up the next.
Speed up down the 1st hill and then coast up the next hill.
Speed up half way down the 1st hill then EOC half way down and half way up the 2nd hill then low speed up the rest of the 2nd hill.

I'm using my ultra gauge to drive with 70-80% engine load going up hills. Your car, with its power, would possibly fly at 80% load. But you want more load--within reason--for more efficient use of engine movement/power... That's my understanding and practice.
