Since DL stopped walking premium passengers to the head of the immigration line at JFK, the only "fast-track" for immigration and customs that I know of is Global Entry, which requires payments, screening and interviews.

You have to be a US citizen or Canadian B1/B2 visa holder to use this.

Also, if it's warm enough, cut thru Central Parking. It's less than 10 minutes walk thru central parking from E entrance to A.
Also, IMHO, the walk from Main A terminal (gates 1-12) to Satellite A (13-to whatever) is less than 10 minutes. You go thru security, walk 10 steps, down a 2 floor escalator, 2 magic carpets (about a minute each if you walk and carpet simultaneously), another 10 steps to a 2 floor escalator up and boom, you are in Satellite. I would say 5 minutes, if that. Security to the farthest gate in Satellite is 10 min max, and that is at a very leisurely pace. Your foot speed may vary
4 hours is plenty of time.
Warning, though..if you have pre-check, BOS starts shutting down pre-check, on a rolling schedule, starting at 6(?). I think its 7p in Terminal A (I always take AM flights, so this is to the best of my recollection)
