I would say no.sounds like you got the backlash set to loose. The pinion and ring gear are not making good contact.

I have installed about 6 sets of gears and the ones that were done right never made a whine but the ones that i did wrong always whined.

Give us a call. Did you use a backlash tester tool?

Dial Indicator with a magnetic base? .008 to .012 is right isn't it?

Just put some drag radials on and go to the track, thats how you break them in.

Your on borrowed time anyway if you run the car hard, might as well find out what it will do at the track....go out w/ a bang!

you dont want to drive them around like that for long, it'll mess them up and turn them in to razor blade sharp edges

One or two reasons too much or to littel back lash could have the gears off set to one side too much (Too deep?). A dial indicator will only tell you the back lash. The pinion depth is done by using a marking grease to look at the contac pattern to detemine if they are too deep or too shallow etc... A lot of variables so it isn't as easy as a lot of people will make you think if you haven't done a few etc... I am no expert, but I am getting better I am still not 100% confident with out having someone who is there to re-check it etc...

Also, if everything else checks out...would be a no name gear oil you may have used...heard that happening before. Use a brand name gear oil.
