Default How to maximize penetration on a shot

I would like to get your opinions on which of the following factors are most crucial to total penetration of an arrow in the chest of an animal. Lets assume for the sake of discussion that the shot broadside and not quartering.

1) arrow speed
2) type of broadhead
3) total arrow weight
4) Bow poundage

etc...

I know that the answer is a combination of all factors but I am just curious as to which top two make the most significant difference. Lets say a fellow draws at about 55-60 pounds pull and wants improve penetration without having to draw a heavier weight. Or is the best bang for the buck strengthening up and shooting 70 lbs ?
