Default Had new trans installed recently, when to change fluid?

Had my stage 3 speed inc trans installed 3 weeks ago. I probably won't be driving the car much over the next few months (only put about 65 miles on it so far). Anyway, is it a good idea to change the trans fluid at the 500 or 1000 mile mark? Or should I just let it ride for the first few thousand.

The filter takes care of grit in the fluid. Chemically it takes a while for ATF to become contaminated enough to worth changing, however pulling the pan to change the fluid at about 1000 miles can reveal developing problems if they exist.
