Has anyone had a crank snout ever snap off with a blower application on a LSX?

Just wondering, ive heard of GEN I small blocks having the nose of the crank literally snap off from the tension of a big belt yanking on it as it spins. They make small block cranks with the beefy big block frontend to help alleviate that problem for the first gen. Just wondering if anyone has heard of it with an LSX motor?
