How can contaminated air affect the timing of brake application, beyond just risking valve damage?

Pick an answer

1. Timing of brake application is fixed mechanically and never affected by air supply issues
2. It only affects the color of the exhaust, not braking response
3. Buildup inside lines and valves can slow how quickly air reaches the brake chambers, adding lag to when the brakes actually engage
4. Contaminated air always makes the brakes apply faster than normal, which is actually helpful during panic stops on wet roads
