Fit it after your remap would be my suggestion but as long as your steady and no boost and no more than 4krpm until your run in is complete then I don't suppose it matters. The temptation would be there to "see if its different" if you fit the new chip.
Run it in properly then fit the chip.
Run it in properly then fit the chip.

proper running in involves a blast at high revs very early in the engines life imo.
this "grannying" around at 3k revs for a thousand miles isnt the way to do it.
