Question Driver Rear caliper hanging up? PLEASE HELP?

So I finished up the Whipple install and took the car out for her maiden voyage last night. WOW, btw... that Whipple is going to be fun!!

Anyway, at about 65mph, I notice a vibration from the rear and when I stopped I noticed a PRONOUNCED brake smell from the driver rear caliper. Went back home, put it up on jacks and went to bed. Going to look into it tonight, but in advance of that, does anyone here have any idea what the case could be? I recently swapped pads, but I've done that plenty of times and this last time I did it, I actually had the proper caliper retractor tool for once. Just wondering if you all can provide any insight as to what might be the problem before I start looking at it. Not really sure what could be wrong. Only 10k on those calipers. SO frustrating! I want to get that Whipple out on the road!!! Plus I just dropped $600 on the Baer Eradispeed rotors and would prefer not to TOAST one of them right off the bat!
