Well, the 4.10's are a good start they will really help you out. I would also add a 2800 stall converter, that and the 4.10's will really wake your car up. I'd also install a off-road H-pipe. Do you have a 2 1/2" cat-back or do you just have flows on the stock pipes?
As for the AOD shuffle. Shift out a first, wait 3 or 4 seconds then slam that sucker back into first.
Your times aren't that bad considering you are a AOD vert. A friend of mine ran a best of 9.90 in his 89 GT vert 5-speed and he has a cat-back, K&N, and pullies.
BTW, this is just to make you fell bad, my 2.3 runs about the same 60ft as you
Sorry, just had to throw that in
