Putting her back on the road question

My 05 RX8 has been off the road for 5 months for the winter. It has 37 K miles on it. I pulled the battery for storage but will be buying a new battery for it. It had new ignition components at 33 K miles. I used Pri G in the gas for storage. My question is, before starting her up, is there anything I should do out of the ordinary?

5 months is nothing. Just make sure has some fresh gas in it with extra premix. Should just fire right up.

It might run rough for the first little bit as the ecu learns fuel trims. Let it idle for 10-15 mins before shutting it down and starting it again. That should be enough to relearn.
