Less than 100 Miles since I put the new one on. I'm quite sure I torqued it well enough, what could make it go so fast?

Chiltons called for 284Ft Lbs the Tq Wrrench I had only went up to 250 ft lbs so I torqued it to that then locked it and gave it a shitload more.

on a side note I'm leaning towards it being a warped Rotor as at real low spd <5mph I can hear it and it sounds more scrapeish. Also it doesn't get louder/quieter when turning the wheels, however the frequency/Pitch does change.
