does having a higher pressure in the rear promote a more neutral bias?
tried this in my car, but too salty outside to push it.

or is it the opposite?
Typically speaking inflating your tires decreases the size of the contact patch and the adhesion limit on your tires. So I guess the short answer is no, you would want to decrease the adhesion limit of the front tires (since that's what causes the car to understeer). So you'd want to pump up the fronts.
