Aloha! I'm thinking that I'll bring the parts to Hawaii and you pay me $400 to offset the price of the ticket. : )

It's like Chris H says. The Timing Belt I'd have done (part cost $12.00ish)
Since the Belts are off because he did the Timing Belt, have those replaced too. It should be no extra labor cost since they are off the car already.
The Throttle body I would have cleaned (a Can of carb cleaner $4.00ish)
Throw in a can of injector cleaner in your gas tank yourself $6.00ish
Good idea to have the Flame trap replaced $2.00 tops
I haven't replaced my tensioner I have 220000+ on my car.
I guess Imentioned many things that between the two of them they were going to do but the Labor price is way high considering most of the work will take about 4 hours total and the parts are so cheap that we are talking about.

Timing Belt 2.5 hrs.
adding new belts done at this time.
Throttle body cleaning 1 hr.
Flame trap 15 minutes.
