The last time I went to the track I adjusted my rear tire pressure several times and it only seemed to hurt my times.

tire pressure is different for different tires. my stock tires liked 22#'s (cold) and my Nitto's like 14.25#'s (cold)

I hope thats what he ment.. otherwise you would be running down the track with the *** end moving side to side like your overweight cousin after too many thanksgiving cocktails while heading to the desert table..

just be aware that increasing the front tire pressure reduces the vehicle roll out and can make you red light lots easier, so keep this in mind too.
and you don't want to stage deep to get the best ET, you stage as shallow as you can to get the best ET, deep staging helps the reaction times but hurts the ET.
