Depending on your track, driving style and temps aim for high 30's to low 40's. Between the guys using 2200kv motors that I race with (neu 1515 1y, or the CC version of that motor) we've used between 12t and 16t pinions, and all seem to work ok, it's just depends what works for you. Personally I am running 46/13 and am happy, but others want a little more top end.
I'm not sure if anyone here that I race with has tried 5s with 2200kv during a race, but 2 guys have used the 1515 2d (2050kv) for racing on 5s and liked it. Certainly more power, but not uncontrollable. 2200kv will be a bit faster, but fairly close. Gear down at least 1 or 2 teeth if going from 4s to 5s. Best to see how you go on 4s and decide after that.
I think 6s with that motor will be too much for racing. I'm not sure how well it will work gearing done enough to be usable...I should try some day.
