This is the easiest thing to check as you can remove it through an external plug, and there is an updated replacement set up specifically to improve low RPM oil pressure. As the updated components sell for around $20, I'd start there. If that doesn't work, pull the pump casset and check the pump for wear.
I did just update the relief valve with the following parts:

Piston 99710712501
Spring 99610712753
Gasket 99610712350

Is the Low RPM kit different than this?

No, that is it. I would also agree with something already mendtioned: Pull the sump cover and check your pickup. We have seen several that were packed strands of excess sealants that broke loose and ended up in the sump.
