If you want to do it properly then it would be case of getting a flying weight, working out what power to weight ratio you want (at least 2.1/1) and then plugging in the motor/battery/weight selection into ecalc to get an idea of what you would get. If it looks pretty good including current draw then do some searching for anyone who has done an actual thrust test of the motor for real world answers. Also remember that the brand of prop can have a big effect on the final thrust. Soma has shown me the light on this subject. I've seen upwards of 200 grams thrust difference using the same dimensions but different brand.
Here is a thrust test of the 2212 980kv sunnysky's I use on my Titan for an example of what I'm talking about:

Note that this test doesn't show prop speed. That can also be a factor for performance.
