It depends on how much die off is on the rock. I would remove the new uncured LR to a bucket of SW, add a powerhead and cure it outside the tank. The ammonia and impact on the ph is bound to have more negative effects on your tank.

Reefrunner has good advice, get a rubbermaid tub, drop the rock in it, get a powerhead and a heater, and a skimmer if you have an extra. Let it run its cycle and than add to tank. Die off can really raise the levels
