I leave the blind levels at 20 minutes a pop.
 
You also might want to introduce an ante as well.  Antes can be anywhere from 1/10-1/3 of the amount of a small blind.  The normal amount is 1/4 or 1/3 the SB.  So for example the 200/400 level would have an ante of 50.  Or the 300/600 level would have an ante of 100, etc.
 
I would actually cap the blind levels at a smaller # than has been suggested.  You don't want the tournament to turn into a crap shoot at the end because of colossal blinds.  With 120,000 chips in play, I would cap the blinds at 2000/4000 (ante 500)...just my opinion.  If both players have the 'average' stack of 60,000 when it gets to heads up, that still is only 15BB which gives the players some room to manuver without them pushing every hand.
 
So you are starting with 3 tables of 8 I assume...are you then combining when you reach 18 and 9?  Or are you keeping the 8-a-table concept and combining at 16 and 8?
 
Just a small note...if you are looking for a computerized "tournament director" that keeps track of the blind level times, average stack, etc.  google for "The Tournament Director" and download the program to check it out.
