Not to my knowledge.

SC speed, acceleration are same to all ship and fsds doesn't have any effect on your ships performance in sc. Same with power, it doesn't matter if you have more or less power in system or engine. Only thing/stat that have any effect to sc is your ships agility stat/number. Eagle have agility 10 and anaconda have agility 2. Anaconda turn rate in sc is much worse than eagles turn rate. Better agility (higher number) the better ship turn in sc. You can´t change ships agility by changing modules etc.
Frontier really needs to add some stuff to the System power supply in my opinion.
You know, do some interesting stuff, like add jammers.
Don't like getting scanned? Fit a jammer and fire it up when you've got a scan detected, it'll suck System power as long as it's active based upon it's strength, and it'll increase the length of time needed to scan you, also based upon it's strength, as compared to the strength of the scanner. Scanners that're getting jammed kick in the juice also, and start draining System power.
Yay, now we have a game mechanic and more interesting pip management outside of combat. I'm gettin' randy just thinking about it.
And it'll never happen.

Wow, I've used all 3 of those consistently in most of my ships and I never noticed that they drew power from Systems.
Just goes to show how much that resource impacts gameplay.
Well actually it does affect gameplay a lot because everyone has lots of heat sinks now. You'll run dry fast if you keep all your pips out of SYS and keep heat sinking.
I suppose FD could add a "jammer" but they already have a system for avoiding NPC scans so it wouldn't really add anything IMO.
And somehow the Gunship has 11 agility in SC lol
