As far as the example above, if you were at F/120, and you pitched up to G,
the bpm should (if I did my math correctly) resemble 134.7 >>

Keep your book open,   
Let's say the pitch/key  of the second track is G at 130 BPM 
What  pitch/key is the second track at 120. 
Not doing the math and just looking at your numbers, it seems to be a quarter 
tone flat?  of F.   (134.7 - 130 = 4.37 which  is about 1/2 of 7.33 (new 
math;) or about a quarter tone.
 
I don't think a BPM/pitch chart would be very accurate because they wouldn't 
translate into "exact" pitch/keys.   When I hear key modulations in DJ mixes 
- If it's in tune -  I assume that BOTH track have the same BPM and just the 
keys are different.   Good reason for 16 bar drum intro's and outtros!   
Mixing by "keys" would be a lot harder   and you don't get matching BPM's.    
I wonder what keeping the same key and BPM up or down sound like.  Would make 
for interesting crossrhythms!
