What is normal battery draw?

What is considered normal battery draw when the car is off? I tested mine with a multi meter between the cable and battery post and got 26.2 amps (or is it miliamps?) I had read somewhere that normal for stock should be 20. Is 26 reasonable considering it has an after market head unit, turbo timer, ebc and some gauges or should I keep checking? I pulled every fuse under the hood and inside the car and it never dropped at all.

26 amps is most assuredly totally unreasonable.

26 mA is much more reasonable. If the spec is 20, I wouldn't concern myself with an extra 6 mA.

26 amps not even in the rigth league of being ok

26 mA is OK.
