Depends on where your pH is now. pH is a logrithmic scale, ie. each is unit is 10Xs what the unit below it is. So if 100 lbs will raise it from 5 to 6 you would need 1000 lbs to go from 6 to 7. You also have to figure what the pH buffer of the soil is because other cations (Ca, Mg, & K) also influence how much the pH will change. At least that is how I understand it. I'm sure an agronomist could explain it better.
